Lucky Pulpit (foaled February 10, 2001– February 13, 2017) was an American Thoroughbred stallion who stood at Harris Farms in Coalinga, California. Lucky Pulpit was a son of the Blue Grass Stakes winner Pulpit, and grandson of the 1992 United States Horse of the Year A.P. Indy. Although his own racing career was limited due to respiratory issues, Lucky Pulpit was best known as the sire of California Chrome, two-time American Horse of the Year, winner of the 2014 Kentucky Derby and 2014 Preakness Stakes and all-time leading North American horse in earnings won. At the time of Lucky Pulpit's death in 2017, he had sired 148 winners from 229 starters and was credited with progeny earnings of $24 million.
Lucky Pulpit was a chestnut stallion with a blaze and white socks on his hind legs bred in Kentucky and owned by Larry and Marianne Williams. He was sired by Pulpit, who won the Blue Grass Stakes in 1997 before becoming a successful breeding stallion. Pulpit's other offspring include Tapit, Ice Box, Corinthian, and Stardom Bound. Lucky Pulpit's dam, Lucky Soph, was foaled in California and was sent to the United Kingdom as a yearling to race. She won one race, the class D Longhill Maiden Fillies Stakes at Ayr, as a three-year-old in 1994. Lucky Soph is a three-quarter sister to the mare Trolley Song, the dam of multiple stakes winner and sire Unbridled's Song. Lucky Pulpit's half-brother Drewman was third in the Iowa Derby and second in the Diplomat Way Stakes with combined winnings of $88,852.
